Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib is a prominent Sikh shrine located in Anandpur Sahib, Rupnagar district, Punjab, India. It marks the site where Guru Gobind Singh cremated the head of his father Guru Tegh Bahadur after his martyrdom in Delhi in 1675. The white-domed gurdwara is revered by pilgrims and is located close to Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib. It features a prayer hall, langar hall and accommodation for visitors.

Visitors can expect a white marble gurdwara with domes, a spacious prayer hall (Darbar Sahib) with the Guru Granth Sahib, and a Nishan Sahib flag. The complex includes a langar hall where free community meals are served, shoe storage area, and sarai accommodation. The setting is within the holy town of Anandpur Sahib surrounded by other historic gurdwaras. Visitors can observe prayers, kirtan, and experience a calm, devotional atmosphere.

Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib commemorates the cremation of the head (Sis) of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, who was martyred in Delhi in November 1675. His head was brought to Anandpur Sahib by Bhai Jaita and cremated by his son Guru Gobind Singh at this site. The present structure was built to preserve the memory of this event and is one of the historic gurdwaras of Anandpur Sahib founded by Guru Tegh Bahadur and developed by Guru Gobind Singh.

The gurdwara is a highly revered Sikh pilgrimage site and part of the sacred complex of Anandpur Sahib, the birthplace of the Khalsa. Devotees visit to pay respects, participate in prayers and kirtan, and partake in langar. It holds special importance during Hola Mohalla and Gurpurabs when large congregations gather in the town.
